Topographic Surveys
A survey which has for its major purposes the determination of the configuration or relief of the surface of the earth and the location of natural and/or artificial objects located thereon. Elevations may be demonstrated graphically by mapping contour lines at various intervals.
Geodetic Surveys
A Geodetic Survey is one that takes into account the curvature of the earth and is tied to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) nationwide horizontal or vertical control networks. A Geodetic Survey can be used as local control for either Horizontal or Vertical positions and is established on a universal datum so that the positional results can be used by all. The resulting positions can be re-established by other technical users easily, therefore promulgating needed historic locations.

During this time, Mr. Young has been called upon to serve as an expert in the field of surveying for a documented 70+ survey related disputes.

- Upland boundary legal challenge disputes between neighbors
- Interpretation of legal descriptions
- Suits against title companies for their failure to disclose public documents exceptions on the title policies
